We have been studying the reason why the drivers fail and the only reason we can now come up with is that somehow FreeBSD puts the device in some kind of sleep mode because it's on the PCI-Express bus.

We have OpenBSD 3.8 and NetBSD 3.0 working perfectly on the HDA device
So the reason has got to be something related to FreeBSD's handling of the PCI Express bus - the reason why I say that is because we find similar timeouts in MAudio devices that work perfectly with standard PCI bus machines.

Dev:
I finally managed to a responce back from one the FreeBSD sound developers. While its not entirely helpful, it does give a direction. He had stated to:

"No, I don't know what the problem is. But hardware detection is a task
of the driver. So if there's a problem, it's either a bug in the
driver, or a bug in the low level probing/allocation routines of
FreeBSD. So if 4Front knows what the problem is, a mail to current@freebsd.orgshould help (by either fixing the bug in FreeBSD, or by explaining what
to do in the driver)."

Its good to hear we are finally getting support! Once it is working I will be more than happy to pay for a license, and a few extra licenses with I dont need. Good support dev, thanks for sticking with it

Good news - we finally found the problem and now there's an updated OSS 3.99.3d version that has HDA working.
